Australia’s oldest wine area, Hunter Valley, offers robust reds and crisp whites.
Australia’s oldest wine area, Hunter Valley, has 150 wineries, as well as award-winning dining establishments and stunning lodging. The Hunter Valley is now the largest wine area in New South Wales, having had its first grape vines planted there in the 1820s on its rich soil. As the quintessential Hunter Valley white, semillon is distinguished by its typical white profile, which combines sharp acidity, apple and citrus aromas, and strong yet refined flavors. The area is also well-known for its powerful and bold Shiraz, which is made from some of the oldest vines on the planet.
Save the date for Saturday, July 13, 2024, the 12th annual Hunter Valley Wine & Beer Festival, which will take place on the grounds of the charming Rydges Resort Hunter Valley.
Hunter Valley wine regions :
Hunter Valley is divided into three wine-growing regions: Pokolbin, Lovedale, and Broke-Fordwich. Owing to varying soil composition and microclimates, each of these places produces a distinctive wine and provides distinct cellar-door experiences.
Pokolbin:
Pokolbin has been the hub of the Hunter Valley wine area ever since it opened.
Lovedale:
Discover tiny, family-run vineyards in a peaceful environment, away from the masses, at Lovedale. Talking with winemakers or growers behind the little cellar doors is a great way to learn about their most recent vintages. In this area, wines are usually named for members of the family.
Broken-Fordwich:
Broke-Fordwich is renowned for hosting top-notch boutique and sustainable wineries, along with highly praised fine dining options, a World Heritage-listed wilderness, and ancient Aboriginal rock art. The area has a dozen wineries, all conveniently located within a few kilometres of each other.
Wine from Scarborough:
A family-run vineyard known for its exceptional wines and friendly atmosphere is Scarborough Wine Co. The estate offers a tour that takes visitors on a trip from dirt to cellar, giving them an understanding of the whole winemaking process from the vineyard to the bottling step.
Tyrrell’s Wines:
Tyrrell’s Wines is a must-visit for wine lovers. With a history dating back to 1858, this family-owned establishment has consistently produced high-quality wines for over 160 years, making it an essential destination for those passionate about wine.
Wines from Brokenwood:
Since its founding in 1970, Brokenwood Wines has grown from a weekend retreat for amateur winemakers to become one of Australia’s most well-known wine labels. The winery is well-known for its exceptional range of wines, which includes well-known varietals including the Cricket Pitch Range, the ILR Reserve Semillon, and the well-known Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz.
Audrey Wilkinson:
Renowned for its quality wines—Semillon and Shiraz, in particular—and its picturesque vineyard site in the high foothills of the Brokenback Range, Audrey Wilkinson is well-known.
Vineyard Briar Ridge:
From the lively and crisp Semillon to the deep and complex Shiraz, Briar Ridge Vineyard is a premium winery known for its award-winning wines.
Wines from McGuigan:
This family-run winery has been making award-winning wines for four generations, with roots in the 1880s. The McGuigan Black Label line, which has dominated the market, is especially notable. With Black Label Merlot at number six, Black Label Cabernet Merlot at number three, and Black Label Red at number one, this line has secured the top three spots in Australia’s best-selling red wines by volume.
The Yengo National Park:
Yengo, which is part of the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Property, offers breathtaking views, untainted nature, and important Aboriginal cultural sites, including places of worship and rock carvings that may be explored.

Rome’s Trevi Fountain tour revamped: Book your spot for a 30-minute, no-crowd experience
Trevi Fountain traditions paused for tourists: Rome introduces elevated walkway for a unique viewing experience
Tourists in Rome won’t be allowed to toss coins over their shoulders into the Trevi Fountain, following tradition, though an elevated walkway now gives limited access to the monument during maintenance work.
Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri inaugurated the steel walkway on Saturday, saying it will provide tourists with a close-up view of the fountain and calling it a “unique experience” that won’t be ruined by overcrowding.
The walkway over the fountain’s basin will be able to accommodate about 130 people at a time.
But tourists won’t be allowed to toss coins from there, as the fountain is currently drained, and could face a 50-euro fine if they do, the mayor warned.
City lore has it that tossing a coin into the Baroque fountain will ensure a return trip to Rome.
Gualtieri said a small pool has been set up next to the walkway to collect the coins, which are donated to the Caritas charity to fund meals for people in need.
Book Overseas Travel Insurance at Affordable Prices
The walkway will remain until the end of the maintenance work, which is expected to finish by year’s end.
Rome city officials are devising a plan to block off the area around the fountain. Under the plan, visitors will be required to book online and pay 2 euros ($2.20). Once inside, they will have 30 minutes to enjoy the fountain.
